Welcome,
Though the place is a home stay, you'd nowhere feel that basic modern comforts are missing from the place. This Homestay makes every effort to make your stay as memorable as possible and succeeds to a great extent. The environment created is pleasant and home like and all this at an affordable rate so all you have to do here is, enjoy yourself.
We have introduced a fleet of new generation luxury houseboats. We proudly claim that it is not just a boat that we have got ready for you, it is a home, as cozy and pleasant as the one in which you live. The bedrooms are arranged with all the amenities and facilities you need to help you rest and relax, as you glide along.Leisure Kerala Tourism has distinctly marked Kerala as God's own country. Backwaters in Kerala, better known as the God’s Own Country, is one of the prime attractions of Kerala tourism. Backwater tourism in Kerala is very popular among tourists from all over the world. The exciting backwater destinations of Alappuzha and Kumarakom add pride and prestige to our substantive travel and tourism space.
The Kerala is known as the "Land of Spices". Even the Kerala cuisine is known for its spicy and hot foods. Traditionally, in Kerala food is served on a banana leaf. Kerala Foods One has to take food with right hand. Almost every dish prepared in Kerala has coconut and spices to flavour the local cuisine giving it a sharp pungency that is heightened with the use of tamarind, while coconut gives it its richness, absorbing some of the tongue-teasing, pepper-hot flavours. Tender coconut water is a refreshing nutritious thirst quencher. The crunchy papadam, banana and jackfruit chips can give french-fries a run for their money any day. Kerala cuisine is a combination of Vegetables, meats and seafood flavoured with a variety of spices. Seafood's are main diet of Coastal Kerala.

Anshad and his wife, Amina, are the perfect hosts, catering to every whim, creating a happy and relaxing atmosphere. The Lovedale Homestay consists of a main building with several rooms and a couple of separate lodges, all apparently built recently. These surround a shaded eating area. The homestay is on the bank of Vembanad Lake, part of the Kerala Backwaters. My room was upstairs in the main building and included an en suite shower room. The room had AC and a fan, and plenty of sockets (Indian 3 round pin) and was clean and tidy. There were two single beds. Towels were provided. Wifi was good in the eating area, but don't reckon on getting a signal from your room. Amina's cooking was something to look forward to, consisting of Kerala veg dishes, homemade Indian breads and locally caught fish and prawns. (I didn't ask for meat so I don't know whether that was on offer.) Anshad arranged the taxi from and to Kochi airport, which took 1:30h on Saturday and 2:15h on a much busier Monday morning. He also arranged a 3h Shikara (boat) trip, which was leisurely and interesting, and a massage, which was effective (and interesting!). But I think what I will remember most is sitting outside under the shade reading as the boats go about their business just meters away. And the food.

Other reviewers have praised this house but we were amazed at how perfect the whole stay was. The house is beautifully designed with generous open plan living areas and a palm tree growing up through a central atrium. The bedrooms are equally generous and were beautifully furnished with luxury en suites. The art work and interior design could feature in a design magazine and Kavita put flowers from the garden around the house, including beautiful large leaves as corner decorations and flowers floating in stone vases. The view onto the lake was beautiful and the gardens were expertly designed with two large ponds and well chosen planting which attracted a wide variety of birds and butterflies. The house was perfect but the best part of the stay was Prakash - his cooking would rival any 5 star hotel, using ingredients from the garden and the best local produce. He has a real passion for cooking and presents the food beautifully. He was also keen to introduce us to the local area and arranged a variety of trips for us and took us to the local shops. He also arranged a houseboat stay for us which collected us from the garden. He was so attentive and helpful and made us feel so at home. We will definitely be back and can thoroughly recommend this house for a relaxing holiday.

MalcolmNovember 2016

If you are deciding to go based on the Pictures, you will be in for a pleasant surprise. The place is much more beautiful than what the Pictures are able to capture. Every room is tastefully done. The best time to see the beauty would be during rains with the meticulously planned roof allowing rain droplets seep into specific areas. All this is great but the unique and the best feature of this place is Prakash, a humble and gentle human who cooks like a dream. Everyday he will surprise you with an amazing dish. Also the host we quite responsive for any query. Look forward to visit again next year in monsoon.

AnujJuly 2016

Sangeetha's lake house is a heavenly abode and a perfect place for a quaint holiday in the lap of nature. The pictures do little justice to the actual experience. Every detail reflects her wonderful taste and intrinsic artistic nature. Each sunrise is something to look forward to. The chef + caretaker Prakash is an absolute gem with kerala cuisine and his each meal is a genuine surprise. He is there to take of every little need and makes sure to go out of the way to extend his hospitality. We stayed there for about 2 and a half days but so wish we could have extended. Thank you Sangeetha for the amazing stay!! Just go ahead, book and be ready to be mesmerised by the surrounding natural beauty and the house itself.

SanilOctober 2016

Sangeetha's house is one of the most amazing and beautiful homes we have seen. The attention to detail throughout is beautiful. The biggest asset to the property is Prakash. He took care of our every need and made sure we felt at home throughout. From arranging local taxis to the delicious food he served up, everything with a smile. No amount of pictures we took did justice to the beauty of the house. Thank you for the amazing stay and experience. We would have loved to stay longer.

nehaOctober 2016

The place is even more beautiful than in the pictures over here. Each and every tiny aspect is taken care right from the warm welcome to the arrangement of the flowers all over the place which made the place more lovely. The house was decorated and arranged with a lot of passion that made us fall in love with the place. Especially the cook Prakash made our stay more memorable by making us feel at home by cooking delicious dishes. We definitely love to visit the place again to enjoy the beautiful lake view.

Jaya Bharath ReddyJuly 2016

Sangeetha's lake house is one of the most incredible places we've ever stayed and most definitely the highlight of our trip to India. We were so well taken care of from the moment we booked, and the food was especially delicious. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Hello Holiday people , Kerala is God's own country & Sangeetha's house is God's holiday home in Alappuzha . The house is located in one of the most scenic location in Kerala, with perfect landscaping overlooking the Vembanad river , a perfect place to unwind ,relax & let go your stress , in very chic architectural designed house , with authentic antique furniture ( including the tea kettle ) . We stayed at Sangeetha house for 2 nights , a total value for money . The second best thing is Prakash & Kavita , the caretakers of the house. Prakash an amazing cook with perfect etiquette , where in he used to serve us our morning bed tea / coffee till our dinner deserts superbly served in the best bone china crockery with delicious Kerala meals ( fried fish , grilled lobsters , prawns curry , appam , puttu , kadla curry ,veg stew ,veg thoran, small fish fried , idly ,sambar ,coconut chutney , dal , rice ) . Kavita a very genuine & a cheerful lady who keeps the house clean and tidy and lights up the diya every evening to make it a very homely stay . A suggestion for Sangeetha , please keep your house wifi free and do not get the TV repaired , so that the guest can enjoy the scenic view of the river and the butterfly in the garden which my daughter loved chasing around to catch them . Diffidently will be coming back for our stay and this time with a fishing rod to catch some prawns from the backyard, spend some more time on the Chinese net , socialize with the local community & learn how to make coir mats / carpets .

The pictures don't do enough justice to this place. Because what meets you when you arrive there is Million dollar views that surround this property. But what really truly touched us was the hospitality of Uncle & Aunty (that's how we prefer to call him) and his amazing team of people especially his manager Roshan. Each of them went out of their way to make our stay seem so special. We were a group of 10 people but never for a bit did we see Uncle or Aunty or his team of people look tired, they always had a smile and always go the extra mile. The rooms & bathrooms are very clean, spacious and comfortable. My only tiny complaint was the wifi connectivity, which is available only at a certain spot. But that's the thing about places like this, where it's important to cut out all distractions from the outside world & just connect with nature. My favorite part was waking up early to witness the sunrise over the backwaters as the fishermen go in for their daily catch. Will I come back to this place? A million times yes!!!!

Built exclusively from teak wood and anjili , Kovilakam has the typical tharavadu ambience.. The rooms have wooden ceilings and traditional furniture. A broad chuttuveranda, lined with pillars , run all around the main tharavadu and this plays an excellent venue for relaxing.
A quiet place for the elderly ,a romantic spot for the honeymooners,a fun and frolic time for the children and an amazing party evening for the young crowd….. that’s kovilakam

Kovilakam is built in a unique traditional "kerala tharavadu" home style in tune with the rich culture of God's own country. Located by the banks of river Vembanad, it is our dream house and we take the pleasure of sharing the joy of its serene and calming backwater surroundings that would make you feel a whole new you.
We give access to 4 of our 5 bedrooms and its living room aswell as the dinning room. You are also free to use the entire area of the property whether to sit by our pier or gaze into stars on our garden hammock if not take a dip in the lake. The kitchen is restricted.We could cook traditional dishes for you for your meals if you favor, which would cost you a little extra.

As we are located by the backwaters, you get to meet the locals and the fishermen .If you are an early riser, you could catch a glimpse of them in action as they spread the net for the fishes. House boats are a common site and quite exciting to watch how intricate some of them are and always different.
We do arrange taxis if you want to move around. The local rickshaws are more budget friendly.

If you want a completely relaxing holiday,this is the place to be! Spread over a large green and well maintained plot, by the lake side, with its own little private jetty and three different buildings with traditional Kerala architecture - and only 4 guest rooms meant to be occupied - this is a place too luxurious to be true. We reached on Christmas eve to find the place steeped in festive mood with X-mas trees, lights and music. We tried both veg and non veg food and its excellent. Food is prepared only if you ask for it. While rooms are big, it was a tiny bit crowed for 2 adults and two kids. There is TV and AC in the room, but we spent most of our mornings and evenings on the hammock outside. The staff of two who look after the guests is very enthusiastic and helpful and communicate adequately even if you don't know Malayalam. Every morning, you would definitely encounter fishermen in their small boats, birds who land on the palm trees, and a breathtaking view of the Sunrise across the lake. Nearest shops are a couple of kilometres away and they seem to close early. Although we could not meet Leela, she called up even before we reached Kerala and twice during the stay to check on our well being and guided us about what can we expect in nearby Alappuzha. This place is certainly better than how it is described here and will stay in our memory for long. Go for it.

PrashantJanuary 2016

Kovilakam was really wonderful. Beautiful, charming setting by lake vembanad. Comfortable rooms and exceptionally good service by Stefan and staff. It was a real treat for both of us and our kids plus their nanny. Ms. Leela was also extremely hospitable and helped us find good traditional massage and houseboat services.

BadalJanuary 2016

I stayed in Kovilakam with my friends in March 2016. From the moment we made the booking, Leela, our host, was very warm and helpful in offering to organise conveniences and activities for us to enjoy during our trip. We were welcomed personally by Leela who showed us the entire property, and also introduced to the caretaker of the property Siyad, who did a wonderful job of seeing to our needs the rest of the stay. The property was beautifully maintained and better than the pictures give it credit for, as it directly overlooks the Lake Vembanad across a sprawling lawn and even has a private jetty. The House itself has all the modern conveniences and is clean, inviting and aesthetic. We particularly enjoyed the food served to us, all authentic Kerala cuisine. We gorged on prawns, fish, chicken, mutton, beef and vegetable dishes and each was better than the last. The Prawns Masala, Appams, Mutton Curry, varieties of Thoran and the Kerala Beef fry were particular favourites. The portions were generous and the prices are very reasonable. We would definitely choose to return to Kovilakam and urge anyone who hasn't been to Allepey to stay here.

NithyaMarch 2016

Following a two weeks bus tour of Rajasthan with 40 people, we were interested in complete relaxation. Kovilakam was the perfect place to find our down time. At the Cochi airport, we hired a prepaid taxi to take us the two hours to Leela's beautiful Kovilakam home near Alleppy. Situated on the western shore of Vembanad Lake, the setting was beautiful. Leela and her staff greeted us and helped us get comfortable in our air conditioned room. After some relaxation time and a nice meal we were invited to walk a short distance to a local Hindu temple to experience the last evening of a 30 day celebration of the Goddess Devi complete with three huge elephants and all sorts of exciting sights and sounds. It was sort of like a County Fair with crowds of families, all dressed up in their finest. It was a super way to begin to experience Kerala State. Our stay was for eight nights. Every day we relaxed, saw some sights, shopped, walked by the Arabian Sea and swam in its 85 degree water! Leela and her staff missed no opportunity to treat us like royalty. We opted to have the cook prepare extra meals so we really had to do nothing but kick back and relax. As expected, the weather was almost too hot, and the humidity, too high. But that encouraged us to relax, read and experience a few days of doing very little. A true time of BEING, instead of DOING. Each morning, we arose before dawn to sit on the private dock, enjoy the sunrise, feel the cool breeze and watch the myriad fishermen leave on their daily "commute" and to then later watch them return with their catch. Most days we asked our cook to prepare a couple of fresh fish for the extra meals that were available. Kovilakam was a perfect contrast to our time on the tour bus. We fell in love with everyone we met and highly recommend that you too experience the peaceful tranquility of this property by the Lake.

AndreaMarch 2016

Perfect stay in a very enchanting place. Leela's house is beautiful, the staff is very nice. We were 9 and really appreciated our stay.

CarolOctober 2015

The homestay was close to perfect. Set against the quiet backwaters. It's a great break from city life. The rooms are simple and clean. The property has a charming heritage feel to it even though it is newly constructed. Leela was ever so helpful and accommodating. I want to make a special mention of the boys stephan and sharad who were extremely cheerful and helpful servers. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet break.

Anshad and his wife were very welcoming. We loved our stay at Lovedale. The food was home like and very tasty, moreso very cheap and best. His wife prepares good food. they made sure we were comfortable and the efforts could be seen. Ashad had offered Dosa as breakfast but next day he somehow guessed that we cannot have dosa again so they prepared very delicious idlis (Havent had anything like this before). The place was as was described and as the pics show- calm, serene and mystifying. Loved to stay in the cottage. Even shikaara was arranged by him on our request. Very helpful. Love to visit LOVEDALE again. Had a memorable experience.

AnilMarch 2016

This is a beautiful place to stay, and Anshad is an incredible host. He has some great suggestions of things to do in the area, and carried through with organizing each pick up and drop off too. The rooms themselves are nice, clean, comfortable, and there's a very peaceful ambiance. It's so scenic, there are hammocks and the dining/breakfast table that back up to the lake (largest lake in India). Our last evening we got to have dinner with some of the other guests staying at the same time, and it was quite convivial - nice to meet other travelers. Speedy wifi. Thanks again Anshad for such a lovely visit!!

JoniOctober 2016

Mr. Anshad and his wife were superb host. They took care of us very well. The location of the homestay was perfect and the food was just very delicious and homely (thanks to his wife). They guided us well and we just felt very much at home.

AlanNovember 2016

My stay here was just lovely. I only wish could have been longer. Anshad was so responsive and helpful in arranging any requests, including a backwater tour where we were picked up directly from their home, and he even took me on a scooter ride to my first toddy shop visit. I highly reccommend staying here.

jennyJanuary 2016

I would surely recommend Lovedale to anyone who is looking for a peaceful few days in kerala backwaters - the rooms were good, the location very reachable by car, overlooking the serene Lake with a few Chinese fishing nets. Anshad and his wife are great hosts - never said No to any of our requests - in fact they proactively took care of all the arrangements for food and sightseeing. The food was so good that we did not feel like eating out. Overall highly recommended

Anshad, Amina, their family and workers made us feel so welcome and relaxed. We felt they had the perfect blend of being friendly, very helpful and interested in us, while still affording us privacy. They were warm, open minded and obviously enjoy hosting travellers. They have many visitors who are regulars, a very positive sign. Amina's food is amazing and she let us and our children help in the kitchen while learning from her. The setting is idyllic, exactly as shown and described and a great place to rejuvenate in the middle of a bustling India holiday. The house is a great design and so beautiful. They led us to a fantastic local festival and a great houseboat trip. Thank you so much Anshad and Amina for an unforgettable time at Lovedale. We hope to be back one day. Soraya and Nick

SorayaJanuary 2015

When we arrived on our first morning the sun was just about to rise and Anshad greeted us at the gate. He even offered us tea at 630 in the morning! The host couple, he and his wife Amina made us feel extremely welcome and offered assistance whenever they could. We were there for only three days and we had the most amazing holiday thanks to the two of them. The first morning we borrowed their cycles and took it around the neighborhood and it was one of the best parts of the holiday as the village around had a lot of scenic beauty and this was a great way to take it in for us. When we found that the mosquitoes were troubling us, he got us Odomos and didn't even charge us for it even when we insisted. We had a six pack of beers and he even chilled it for us. Amina is a great cook and from all our meals we had over there the food served at Love Dale was not only the best we had but also the most economical and if you told them what you wanted in the morning you'd be sure to get it by your next meal. Over all the holiday was a great experience and will be a great memory for me and my husband forever.

ShrutiOctober 2015

This was a lovely house on the water. Relaxing stay. We ate lunch and dinner at the house. Only cost about 500 rupees per meal for 2 people. Asked for less spicy meals and they were happy to oblige. Organised a boat tour and taxi for us. AC and fan worked well. Bed was a bit hard. Is not necessarily near restaurants and shops so you have to get a taxi to go anywhere else.

LachlanDecember 2014

The homestay is beautifully located in a very quiet and calm end of the lake, and has a great view from the garden, where i spent a lot of time just laying in the hammock and watch sunrise , fishermen fishing, houseboats quietly passing by. Great place to relax. and Anshad and his wife are just the nicest people who went out of the way to make our stay more than comfortable. The rooms were also very good, spacious and comfortable. Probably the best food i had in Kerala. :)

Our hosts made us feel very welcome--and we truly enjoyed our visit at Love Dale--just wished we had been able to spend more than a few days there. The food was absolutely fabulous--and varied--we didn't realize that we could have had some cooking lessons--or at least watched while the dishes were made and taken notes. That will have to wait for another time. My personal favorite was the fresh fish, spiced with distinctive Kerala flavors and outrageously good. The setting is so peaceful by the lake, with cormorants and kingfishers diving, fishermen poling their long wooden boats in close view, as they make their way in and out of the near-by canal. Anshad and his wife were also very concerned when I was grazed by a motorcycle in Alleppey, where we off exploring--and where I expected the traffic to be coming the opposite direction. Luckily, I was not hurt much, but appreciated their care in wishing to take me to the hospital, which I really didn't need. LoveDale is located a bit off the beaten track, but you can easily walk along the canal for a little over a km to the ATM, for chai, and fresh fruit stands. Also, there is a ferry stop a short walk away--the ferry crosses the lake for a few rupees that you can take for a self-made tour of communities along the way--and to enjoy the engaging schoolchildren going to and coming home from school. We also had the unique experience of ayurvedic massage near-by, given by a woman and her daughter--deeply relaxing.

Our stay at Love Dale Lakeside was the best part of our trip to Kerala. The location is serene, the host and his family friendly, and they fixed us up with wonderful boat trips. Highly recommended!

We have had one of the best holidays ever, with Anshad and family, at Love Dale Lake Side Home Stay. The place is beautiful (next to an immense lake), the family and the accommodation are wonderful, and the food is amazing - home cooked, healthy and very tasty. The water, the birds - amazing varieties, the fish, the fishermen & fisherwomen, the life around the lake that begins early in the morning, and continues during the night, all make for a brilliant combination that makes up an exquisite holiday. We would like to be back again and will surely recommend it to our friends and family members.

WOW! What more can we say. Our stay with Anshad & his family was the highlight of our trip ~ we only wish we could have stayed longer than five days. Anshad & his wife are perfect hosts; they really did look after us, way above and beyond what one would expect. The food was just delightful, the rooms were cool and clean, the setting was a joy... Sitting out each day - either in the balcony or in the lake front dining area or in one of the hammocks - you can watch the day of the lake go by... Watch the kingfishers dive, the cormorants do their drying-out displays, the cranes come and go... See the fishermen ~ with all kinds of loads and catches ~ come and go too. If you're observant, you can see the famous Keralan Chinese fishing nets opposite being set, and lowered at dusk. Fully and wholly recommended ~ we hope to return. Also of note ~ Anshad (without hesitation and with no charge for his trouble) arranged a trip to Munnar for us ~ and every part of it was just divine. X

Mararikulam (Malayalam:മാരാരിക്കുളം Hindi:मारारिक्कुलम ) is a beach village in the district of Alappuzha. Mararikulam is the fertile land of communism and it has a very beautiful beach which is known by the name Marari Beach or Mararikulam beach. There are two village panchayts for this village, Mararikulam South and Mararikulam North. Mararikulam North consists of parts of Mararikulam, Perunormangalam, Kanichukulangara, Beach, Poklasheri and Chennaveli. The South Panchayat consists of parts of Mararikulam, Kattoor, Pollathai, Valavanadu, Preethikulangara, Omanapuzha, Kalavoor, Pathirapally, and Chettikadu
Mararikulam has a railway station of the same name, with links to other cities in the region and further afield. It is also well connected by road, with local buses and tuk-tuks to nearby Alleppey and other towns. The NH 47 highway passes through S.L. Puram, which is 5 km to the east of Mararikulam. The nearest airport is Cochin International Airport, approx. 1.5 to 2 hours away by car.
Food:
If ordered in advance, we serve the delicious, traditional cuisine of Kerala such as Paal Appam (coconut milk fritters), Puttu (steamed rice powder) and Kadala curry (Chana Daal curry), Kappa (tapioca) etc.
Boating:
Try the local backwater transport experience, or a shorter trip across Vembanad Lake which has a more varied landscape than the Alleppey cruise (operating daily from August to March and every second day at other times). Generally, there are two stops: a 13:00 lunch stop and a brief afternoon chai stop. The crew has an ice box full of fruit, soft drinks and beer for sale. Take sunscreen and a hat. It's a scenic and leisurely way to get between the two towns, but as a backwater experience the cruise is the better option.
House Boat:
The houseboats of Kerala are a new addition to the travel and tourism of the state's backwaters. These craft, measuring up to 120 feet in length, were once the traditional cargo vessels of the area. They ruled the backwaters, poled along by one or two men, heavily loaded with rice, coconut and other commodities. In recent times, these big vessels have been replaced by more modern modes of transport, relegating them to neglect and decay. Now restored to their former glory, they provide a comfortable and relaxing way to tour the region.
Fishing:
Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting. The fishermen sell their catch every morning on Marari beach.
